    After under wash, this came (it says check hybrid system) when I tried to start for 2nd time after abt 5km drive. After few attempts it was fail safe drive with no eco full time engine, ⚠ sign on with this message. It went away after my next stop in abt 30 mins. On my way to Colombo from Kandy it did abt 30.5km/l and fully normal. So I think its temporary? Wat do you think?

    you might start by checking your oil level and the health of your 12 volt battery.

    You probably got water where water isn't suppose to go. Since it's normal now......the problem is solved.

    Thanks everyone for the comments.
    @JC it's revealing when you also say that.
    I got really panicked when I see this message in Japanese. because its a domestic model. Got a friend to translate it... I hope now it's fine. But good to know that there is a emergency mode, so I will not get busted in middle of the road.

    Should I do a check with Toyota or not worry further..
